I never cheated on you. I came close. I never did. I had this stupid idea that you and I could make a new start together and all the pain we caused everybody else, it was for a reason because we were meant to be together. You were my one true love. I knew it was naive and people thought I was crazy, but I just didn't want to be one of those suckers who gets trapped in a miserable marriage and they're too fucking terrified to leave or they're drinking too much or leaving a leading a double life. I wanted to be brave and make a choice and be happy. And yes, it was hard, and yes, I hurt people, people I really love. I never thought it would be all pointless.
